Fun with Arcade vs. 2600 screen shots!

[Flojomojo]

I'll start it off. Add your own.

[Flojomojo]

The most famous awful example.

The most famous awful example.

 

That could actually pass for a 5200 vs. 2600 screen shot.

[Flojomojo]

Only if you were squash it into a horizontal configuration. That aspect of the 5200 really bugged me --- then and now.

I know what you mean, but given how much more it looks, sounds, and PLAYS like the original compared to the 2600 version, it's still a quantum leap ahead. And for the best home version ever, I'll probably stick to the Commodore 64 anyway.

Gunfight looks very cool, Manuel, thanks for the advertising! The official page link from the AtariAge entry seems to be down though. What's up? I want to play this now.

Try this one: http://home.arcor.de/cybergoth/xype/gunfight2600.html

[King Atari]

You knew I'd do this.

[Flojomojo]

Are ya sure that's not "Double Dukes?"

I'm not sure what you mean, as it just came up fine for me:

 

AtariAge Gunfight Entry

 

Can you tell me how you were having problems? Thanks!

[Flojomojo]

Thanks Albert:

 

You have this listed as the "official site."

http://home.arcor.de/cybergoth/epyx/gunfight2600.html

It returns a 404.

 

If you change it to this page, all will be well.

Thanks for keeping on top of this. You run a wonderful site.

Ahhh, okay, I've fixed the link. If I had read your first message a little more carefully, I would have realized that this is what you meant. Thanks!

Nothing compares to Inty Burgertime. Certainly not VCS Burgertime!

[liquid_sky]

this one didnt turn out that bad.. but then again I am partial to it.. i love fucked up strange games

 

 

 

[NE146]

River Patrol (actually not too bad a translation)

[Flojomojo]

speaking of strange ... who designed this little turd?

[Flojomojo]

River Patrol (actually not too bad a translation)

I like the look of the VCS version more than the original!

[NE146]

ok while we're one going on the more obscure ones. Here's a couple

 

Espial

Reactor

Springer

Roc' n Rope

Strategy X

Up 'n Down

Omega Race

[Flojomojo]

Whoa, you got me beat for obscurity. I thought Amidar was pretty mainstream (Reactor too! I loved that one). Espial looks cool for a VCS game. Gotta try that one. How did you get the screenshots lined up like that? Edited 2 into 1, I presume?

[IceCold]

these should be obvious to tell which is which:

[Flojomojo]

Twenty years ago, did you imagine that games could look this good? We were saying things like "video refresh rate would never support that kind of detail."

[Flojomojo]

The Empire Strikes Back, then and now.

[Flojomojo]

Jedi Arena, anyone? The game still stinks, but I like Star Wars ....
